( ) Young's modulus does not affect material selection for structural applications. 
 
12. The term "corrosion" refers to the deterioration of materials due to chemical reactions 
with their environment, which can lead to significant economic losses and safety hazards. 
In materials engineering, what is one of the primary strategies employed to mitigate 
corrosion in metallic structures?

tools. 
( ) When materials are subjected to impact loads. 
( ) Brittleness is always a disadvantage in engineering applications.
